EXO Baekhyun Criticized for Recent Visuals at the Airport: 'He's always been ugly'
On August 14, EXO members Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., Baekhyun, Sehun, and Xiumin were spotted leaving together for Qingdao, China to attend their offline fan sign event on the same day. Chen will also be joining the group, but he left Korea earlier than the rest.
Before their departure through the second passenger terminal of Incheon International Airport in Unseo-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon, the members welcomed the media and fans by posing for them for a short time.
One fan also explained that the puffy face might have been due to his health condition:
"Baekhyun has hypothyroidism and he often says how his face /cheek gonna look puffy when he wakes up. And we as fans also notice it. There is a time when he doing live and he looks puffy at the start of live and the puffiness disappeared when the live abt to end."
Baekhyun's fans speculate that the reason some people are hating on him was due to his recent announcement of creating his own company, as well as his initial plan to leave SM Entertainment.
